USGBC Wisconsin envisions Wisconsin as a place where all people live, work, and build sustainably because where we live, learn, and labor matters.

Our members, committees and board are a diverse group, and are passionate about green buildings and sustainable design. Our mission is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling a socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life, and we work toward our mission through education, advocacy, and collaboration.

We provide:

A wide range of educational and networking events for our members and the green building community at large;

Volunteer opportunities to help schools and communities reach their green building goals;

Advocacy support for sustainable development and responsible decision making within the State of Wisconsin.

Past Events

Join us Oct. 4 to celebrate the accomplishments of the City of Milwaukee's Better Buildings Challenge and the City's long-term commitment to reenergize and strengthen our greater community through the built environment and energy use reduction. This is your opportunity to learn how Milwaukee continues to streamline programs and processes and eliminate barriers to improving your building and achieving your building energy efficiency goals.

Want to learn about hidden ways to achieve operational savings in your building? Operations and maintenance budgets are often the most difficult to prepare for a building, and it can be easy for organizations to miss out on simple long-term savings found through energy efficiency.

The Green Schools Conference is where you can find inspirational examples of green schools work in the Milwaukee area. Register today for the event to connect with attendees, and learn about resources on how you can help advance sustainability in our schools.
